Rundeck 2.5.0 requires Java 7

[arthurzenika]

could this be displayed as a error message in start ?

could this be enforced in the debian package's dependencies ?

[gschueler]

yes, there should be a change to the dependencies, marking this as a bug

[sreekanthsnair]

I'm facing the same issue, my JAVA_HOME is set correct and shows /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 any other possibility ?

[gschueler]

@sreekanthsnair if you are seeing the "UnsupportedClassVersionError" message, you are still using java 6 somehow. double check your rundeck install settings, e.g. in /etc/rundeck/profile

[sreekanthsnair]

echo $JAVA_HOME pointing to java 7 only, let e check the profile setting, thanks
